Grain Brewing

All grain brewing lets you choose exactly which malts and hops you want to use.

The combinations of malts and hops are endless. We are always happy to offer advice and guidance as to ingredients and the process.

The equipment needed for Grain Brewing differs to kit brewing. You will need a boiler (kettle), a device for mashing the grains (mash tun) and preferably a seperate device for heating sparge water. Single combined systems for heating, mashing and boiling are available, such as the Grainfather, alternatively, making your own equipment is more rewarding.

Kit Brewing

Brewing beers from kits takes away the time consuming mashing of the grains and boiling with the hops. These steps have been done for you by the producers.

The range of beer, cider and lager kits is truly astounding, with every conceivable style of beer covered. From traditional UK ales to American single, double or even triple IPA's, from Belgian styles to French Saisons, English porters, Irish stouts, Welsh reds, the list is endless. There's even a few of the more popular commercial beers available as kits in the form of Woodfordes, St Peters and Courage.

Better Brew Beer Kits

Better Brew beer kits are truly amazing and great value for money, covering most styles of beer and lager.

The yeast strains have also been selected for the specific beer styles rather than using a generic strain across the board. The kits are supplied with a 10g sachet.

The packaging has also been looked at, with a view to reducing the carbon footprint. The Better Brew beer kit range has been packaged in DOY pouches. The cheaper packaging means that a much better range of raw materials has been used.
